"Ten years playing for dancers, ten years playing for singers, and, afterward, you can begin to become a soloist."

Looking for a job change in 2015? Have you considered <a href="http://www.artshub.co.uk/job/london/visual-artists/apprentice-to-globe-makers-190996">apprenticing as a globemaker</a>? Bellerby &amp; Co. are a maker of globes based in London. As their founder states:
<em><a href="http://www.bellerbyandco.com/index.php/aboutus/">So the original plan, hatched in a pub in Kings Cross was to make just two, one for Dad, one for me. It would probably take three, maybe four months and cost a few thousand pounds. After all how difficult can it be to make a ball and put a map on it?</a></em>
Turns out rather more difficult than you would think, but also rather lucrative, with their range sold out for Christmas. Never fear, you can always order for the new year, whether it is a <a href="http://www.bellerbyandco.com/index.php/globes/the-desk-globes.html">mini desk globe</a> (political or celestial!) or the giant limited edition<a href="http://www.bellerbyandco.com/index.php/globes/the-churchil-globes/the-churchill-oak.html"> Churchill</a>, or something in between.
Of course if you have your heart set on being a globe maker yet miss out on the opportunity at Bellerby &amp; Co. you could always ask <a href="http://www.globemakers.com/">Greaves and Thomas</a> or <a href="http://www.landerandmay.com/">Lander &amp; May</a> if they have any upcoming positions.
Maybe you could just watch videos of globemaking - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVJ90AYlMQc">Peter Bellerby</a> again - or just <a href="http://www.3dgeography.co.uk/#!make-a-globe/cdox">have a go</a> at <a href="http://www.rmg.co.uk/make-your-own/globe">making your own</a>. tag:metafilter.com,2014:site.145593Tue, 23 Dec 2014 23:49:51 -0800Megamion compensation for small farm apprenticeshttp://www.metafilter.com/112699/on%2Dcompensation%2Dfor%2Dsmall%2Dfarm%2Dapprentices
